Reporting in!

Everyone loves free games, no?

To be honest I don't really understand the blog. Can you elaborate on what actually happened? All the while I thought it only affect those with non-USD currency.

IP? ID you mean?

I still don't understand how that affects our credit though.

To be honest, this is a very weird & questionable decision by the developer himself.

It's soooo.... pwetty...

Capitalism HO?

Tell me, where the heaven did you get all the time to play so many games, particularly MMOs?

Do you happen to have a blue talking pet cat?!

GabeN said nope, you guys have just been trololol'd.

There are 2 different issues that are being highlighted here to be honest. I don't mean to be rude but what I'm trying to do here is to paint a better light to the whole fiasco which sounded pretty dire when you used the term NSAing.

Reading your DNS cache is not something new. It's being done by so many softwares out there & it's not as intrusive as it sounds to be. While we can all agree that you have all the rights to your privacy, we somehow failed to comprehend that we are not as anonymous as we would like to think we are when it comes to the WWW. But hey, let's no go there with all the Snowden-gate thingy where Big Brother is watching giggling over some silly Omegle avatars since this is not the same thing we're dealing with here.

If there's a need to make a quick comparison, I would say that it's akin to an antivirus scanning the entire directories in your PC. You don't expect an antivirus to be effective without going through what it needs to do, no?

Like I said above, I'm not here to say that you're-wrong-I'm-right but I think we should be able to present the DNS-sniffing controversy from both angles to the community here.

Peace out.

And you think that the antivirus findings were not being screened through by real-life engineers somewhere out there?

People will go apeshit if Valve or anyone out there is keeping mum on this finding but to have the CEO himself coming out in the open to explain himself, I personally think that it's a commendable effort. Sure, he might be feeding us BS but still, the action is fast, his response is swift & in this age where rumours fly faster than news, he knew how serious this accusation is to make himself present instead of using some non-existent customer support personnel to counter the allegation.

Google did it for revenue.

Volvo did it to make the gaming experience better.

Yup, I hear you. Thank you very much for chipping in.

As you've stated, you actually can, just skip VAC-enabled games.

In all seriousness, you can't expect VAC not to work for VAC-enabled games. It's like asking a policeman to stand down, just stay in his station & have some doughnuts.

They do. The industry that I'm working in pretty much knew about the backdoor that certain antivirus products go through.

Ehh ehh...

Erm.... I personally apologize if I somehow painted such an image to you. That's the problem with my writings as I'm really no good in conveying what I have in minds into words.

Please be rest assured that what I wrote in response to qhalidx was done in good humour. Never intended to be offensive or anything so let's chillax.

Agreed though I've to say that a software gotta do what it's meant to. I guess the level of acceptance depends on how much a person is willing to reveal.
